That happens a pretty long time after they first show up. I always killed them with the batmobile until then.

I literally cannot even imagine how you would shoot them with the Batmobile. The turret doesn't even point that far up does it? You'd have to be in just the right position and the drones move so if they hosed off out of your line of sight then now you gotta wait for them again. Jesus, I'm getting annoyed just thinking about it.

I like using the Disruptor to sabotage their guns and destroy them by just letting them see me. Disuptor is probably my favorite tool in the game.

When you get the voice synthesizer, it's the best. Sabotage an ammo crate and use the voice synthesizer to command idiots to check the crate. It's especially best at the end. "Oh the boss is back! I knew he wouldn't abandon *zap*"

The best is doing it repeatedly and the goons just keep falling for it until their current boss gets mad about it and yells at them.

It's how I killed every single one of them. :clint:
(except for the story-required personal takedown)

It's not really hard once you know to aim slightly underneath/in front of them.

This ended up introducing a game-breaking bug for some people in NG+ where they killed it ahead of time and the game didn't know what the gently caress to do.

It's not that bad. The turret has enough vertical traversal that you can generally get them as soon as you can find a street that gives you an unobstructed shot.

So has there been any new word on the PC patch yet? Is "sometime this Fall" still all we know?

It never was all we knew. The "Fall" thing that people keep parroting comes from either a leaked internal Gamestop memo (not WBIE), or people misreading the "Fall 2015" release date for non-Windows PC releases (SteamOS, OS X).

WBIE/Rocksteady promised an "interim patch" in August, which is now half-gone.

Crappy Jack posted:

It's super annoying to do it, especially since you have to be looking at the drone to detonate it, so you're either trying to wrangle the camera to look up as you fall, or else have to climb back up to a rooftop to be close enough to set it off. Shooting them ends up being a lot easier assuming you can get the angle to line up.

Jump off the thing backwards and hold the L trigger down so the camera pans behind you and it goes into perfect position to detonate it immediately pretty much every time.

EDIT - Have they said what the update I'm downloading now is? Hope it's for the 89 DLC, not just a fix for that NG+ bug.

EDIT EDIT - Oh wait, it's the other costume pack, isn't it?

Hopefully it comes out August 31st, right in time for me to never think about this game again because MGS 5 and Mad Max are both out. I'm sure happy I bought the season pass. Maybe I could still get a refund for it.

If you're upset WB didn't/doesn't give half a poo poo about Arkham Knight on PC buying another WB game is an odd way to show it.

FYI if you got the game from an Nvidia code on a card from Newegg/Best Buy you can contact support for an MGS V code, even if you redeemed Batman. Doesn't come out until September but will probably be playable before this one is.

I got mine from Amazon and when I contacted them they said they couldn't give me an MGSV code but offered a 30% refund on my card. That worked out to around $100 so I was pretty happy to take that "compromise".

Small chance of that...
So what's this giant patch on PS4? It's like 5 GB so it's probably the DLC. Which isn't available yet, of course.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
Footage just came out of the 89 batmobile and its associated racetracks.

Also, there's a brand new official trailer for the game because there weren't enough of those already (I'm assuming those are all PS4/XB ratings in that one shot) with the above 1989 stuff and a teaser of WHAT'S TO COME at the end.

Nice. Been looking forward to the 89 batmobile for a while.

I really don't like the Tumbler, but it's neat that's coming.

I know the games been out quite awhile now but, especially considering lots of PC players haven't played through it yet, seems to me there are alot of spoilers, both big and small in that for an official trailer.

So the Robin AR challenge thing that they spent that entire Insider video going on about, with its own hashtag, did not come out this week with the '89 stuff, correct?

I love videos where the player just totally sucks at it. He thinks he's so cool by doing a YouTube video but his voice sucks and he's a bad gamer so there's nothing at all redeeming about this. Never mind the fact that maybe he should have used the magically ability to RECORD MULTIPLE TIMES and choose his best attempt.

Good call. I totally forgot about that one. I used skins more in challenge maps than free roam so I haven't had many opportunities to use them. I hope the ones we get next month don't suck completely.

He probably will get one. They've got a lot of DLC planned, and we're only hearing about it before it comes out.

I think ncix is the only retailer that's not offering some kind of make-good on the batman code that came with an nvidia card. Only company I've ever seen go essentially "okay see ya" when I said I'd never shop with them again.

I've heard Amazon is very hit or miss with that right now too. Newegg, on the other hand, were on their poo poo. I did a chat and told them I got batman with my card and they instantly emailed me a Metal Gear Solid V code once they had my order number. I guess they are under orders to just process and move on, but good on them.
